00:01
We start by drawing the free body diagram as seen in the figure.
00:05
Next step is to use equation which state that for a static problem applied to this case, it is true that sigma f is equal to zero.
00:26
And so we can write sigma m o is equal to sigma r cross f is equal to zero.
00:39
Now let's stop here for a moment and think the force equal to the force equal to the force.
00:44
Equation will provide three equations that will have five unknowns.
00:49
Three forces at c, tensions at de and ad.
00:54
The momentum equilibrium, however, taken around c removes it.
00:59
So we can use that to find the tensions de and ad.
01:05
So let's write all distances from c of the three points.
01:10
The distance from c to c is zero, at which forces are applied since we will need them when writing the moment.
01:20
So, accordingly, i can write rbc is equal to 0i plus 0j plus 2 .4k.
01:39
Rdc is equal to minus 0 .8i plus 0 .6j plus 0k.
01:49
And rec is equal to 0 .8i plus 1 .2j plus 0k.
02:03
We have to do one more thing before moving on.
02:07
Before i said the tension at ad and ed has only one unknown, even though it is a three -dimensional force.
02:17
The reason for this is because we know that the tensions ad and a .e.
02:22
Will be in the direction of vectors ad and ae, since that's the way cables behave.
02:31
If we find the unit vector in this directions, we can write f -a -d is equal to f -a -d -u -a -d, and f -a -e is equal to f -a -e -u -e, u -a -e, where the unit vectors uad and uae can be returned as or can be found as uad is equal to ad upon magnitude of ad and uae is equal to a .e is equal to a .e upon magnitude of a .e.
03:32
The vectors ad and ae can be found from the free body diagram.
03:40
So, these are ad is equal to minus 0 .8i plus 0 .6j minus 2 .4k.
03:57
And ae is equal to 0 .8i plus 1 .2j minus 2 .4k.
04:10
And the lengths are or the magnitudes are found as ad is equal to, as we know, it can be calculated as square root of 0 .8 square plus 0 .6 square plus minus 2 .4 square, which gives the answer 2 .6 meter.
04:38
And the magnitude of a will be calculated as square root of 0 .8 square plus 1 .2 square plus minus 2 .4 square gives the answer 2 .8 meter.
04:55
So, this becomes f.
05:02
A .d.
05:04
U .a .d.
05:05
Is equal to minus 0 .8 upon 2 .6i plus 0 .6 upon 2 .6.
05:17
X minus 2 .4 upon 2 .6 k times f a .d and f a .e u a d is equal to 0 .8 upon 2 .8 i plus 1 .2 .8 j minus 2 .8k times f a d now we can move on to the moment equilibrium equation around c which is sigma mc is equal to sigma r cross f is equal to zero so here we are going to take the cross product of r and f which will be r c cross c plus r dc cross f a d c plus r c plus r c cross f a plus r c cross f a plus r c plus r -c -b -cross -b will be 0.
06:41
And in short, by simplifying this terms, i can write r -d -c -cross -f -a -d plus r -e -c -cross -f -a -e plus r -c -b -c -b will be equivalent to 0.
07:11
Now we find each of these products individually.
07:19
So first of all, we will take the cross product of this too.
07:23
Then we will solve for this one and then we will solve for this one.
07:28
So let's solve the first cross product that is rdc cross fad.
07:36
Yes, this is the cross product...
